In our second of three STF Tips & Tricks episodes, the boys will rampage through “The Cure” with the aid of our fearless teammates from Jupiter Force. How do you outsmart the Borg’s shield generator puzzles? Find out what worked for us!
And then… Season 4 is here! Or is it? The first of the major features landed BRIEFLY on the Tribble Test Server this week, and we’re here to go over the patch notes with a fine-tooth comb. We’ll also pick out the juiciest details from the June “Ask Cryptic,” and announce a couple community-driven projects that have caught our eye.

————-
The Cure
Space Part 1
Bleh, kill borg. Easy.
Ground Part 2
General Tips –
* Go with somebody that knows where nodes are (frequently hidden)
* Pay attention to your leader!
* Ground Map is outside (avoid flanking, stay mobile)
* Engineers cannot use Force Domes (Bunker Kit) to much effectiveness
1) Equipment
At least 2 sniper rifles (for nodes, and exploits)
CRM 200 — best expose weapon, and adds slow effect
Tac – Squad Leader / Fire Team
Eng – Fabrication (Bunker kit is of limited use, but could still be handy)
Sci – Medic
2) Puzzle Tactics
* Brute Force
* Start, fail, restart (1 less spawn to deal with)
(mention “zero aggro” but that we didn’t use it)
* Drop toys between nodes, to draw aggro from beam-ins.
3) Boss tactics
Healer tank his face
He’s got a Chain Lightning attack (won’t use it if people are out of range)
TR-116 for End Boss (Target pre-order) — “Field of Fire”
SPACE – Part 3
Full Impulse IMMEDIATELY, to get to the space stations and eliminate the borg-ifiers.
If you blow up 4, the rest launch.
Try and release the Neg’vars first (farthest from you)
BOSS – Assimilated Carrier
Use AOE attacks to counteract fighter swarms
